Kordia's OptiKor is trans-Tasman only

Friday, May 20, 2011

Auckland, New Zealand: - Kordia CEO, Geoff Hunt, has responded to this morning’s announcement that the $15m in REANNZ funding will go towards a U.S. cable project.

 

“OptiKor is a trans-Tasman cable project only, and is designed to break the current Internet bottleneck in New Zealand.  OptiKor will provide onward access to numerous existing cable systems out of Australia to Asia and to the U.S.

 

“The REANNZ tender was for capacity to Australia and the U.S. which is the route of the proposed Pacific Fibre cable.  So this decision makes sense.”

 

Hunt says he is unable to give more detail on the status of the OptiKor project at present, except to say that it is alive and well.
